BUCKSAW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 461,063, dated October 13, 1891.

Application filed February 20, 1891. Serial No. 382,179. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Beitknown that l, JOHN WOEsNER, acitizen of the United States, residing at Dawson, in the county of Kidder and State of North Dakota, have invented a new and useful Bucksaw, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to handsaws; and

` the objectof the same is to effect certain im provements upon saws of this character, all as hereinafter more fully described, claimed as new, and illlustrated in the drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of my improved saw. Fig. 2 is a horizontal longitudinal seetion through the center of the brace.

Referring to the said drawings, the letters A A designate the two members of the frame, which are duplicates, with the exception that one ot' them has a handle H. Each frame member is of light but stiff metal and of about the shape and relative proportion of parts shown.

D D are diagonal braces extending from the inner faces of the end pieces of the frame near their ends inwardly to an eye B, the whole being integral.

Cis the brace, which extends loosely through the eyes B and has notched ends N resting against ribs R upon the inner faces of the end pieces, as best seen in Fig. 2.

The letter S designates the saw-blade, which is connected by bolts, rivets, screws, or any improved means F with the end pieces at the points shown.

T is the tightening-rod, extending through eyes Ein the upper ends of the end pieces and having threaded extremities upon which are screwed hand or thumb nuts M, as shown.

A saw-frame constructed-in this manner will be extremely simple, durable, light, and strong and will not be seriously affected by changes in temperature. 'The saw-blade can be removed at will in the usual manner, and

the tightening-rod can be given more or less tension, as desired. The brace C bears directly against the bodies of the end pieces, and is therefore very strong, while the diagonal braces D prevent the warping or twisting of the frame under the influence of climatic changes and rough usage.

I do notlimit myself to any particular metal, although l prefer malleable iron, and the same may be finished by painting, japanning, galvanizing, or otherwise, to suit the fancy of the manufacturer and the requirements of trade.

lVhat is claimed as new is# 1. The herein-described handsaw, the same comprising end pieces A A, each of a single piece of metal, having inwardly -inclined braces D, with an eye B at their meeting point, a ridge R upon the inner face of the end piece between said braces, a brace C, eX- tending loosely through said eye and having notched ends N engaging said ribs, a blade S, connected to said end pieces, a tightening-rod T, having threadedV ends extending through eyes in the end pieces at the other side of said brace O, thumb-nuts M on said threaded ends, and a handle H, integrally connected to one end piece, all as hereinbefore set forth.

2. The herein-described handsaw, the same comprising end pieces A A, each having an eye B and a ridge R upon the inner face of the end pieces, a brace C, extending loosely through said eyesand having notched ends N engaging said ribs, a blade S, connected to said end pieces, and a tightening-rod l at the other side of said brace C, all as set fort-h.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aiiixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN VOESNER.
